Chapter 53

Oscar smiled at me. Surely, he had something in mind.

"Do you know how long it took me to pick out that song?" He asked but I kept silent. "It took me three days." He said.

"Why'd it take so long?"

"I needed to find a song that earnestly conveyed my feelings and how I felt." I shook my head. "Although it didn't express all my feelings, it still worked out."

I stared at him for a while. I came down to return his keys. How did I end up having 'this' conversation with him?

"Oscar, don't you want to go home?" I asked.

He looked at me with a little surprise in his expression and sighed.

"If you were there, I think I'd be able to call it a 'home'." He smiled sadly.

I knew what he was getting at but decided not to dwell on it more. The night was too old for long talks.

"Alright! I'm going back in." I said and turned to leave. "Goodnight!"

"Goodnight! Sweet dreams!" He responded with a sweet smile.
